据ABC Digital报道，巴拉圭参议院周五驳回了总统圣地亚哥·佩尼亚要求在弹劾审判中获得72小时延期以准备辩护的请求，传唤他于当地时间中午12点10分（格林威治时间1500）出席议员面前。
Paraguay's Senate on Friday rejected President Santiago Pena's request for a 72-hour extension to prepare his defense in an impeachment trial, summoning him to appear before lawmakers at 12.10 pm local time (1500GMT), ABC Digital reported.
佩尼亚在致参议院议长巴西利奥·努涅斯的信中表示：“不足12小时的时间显然不足以让一个程序达到法治国家的标准。”
"Less than 12 hours is clearly insufficient for a process to meet the standards of a state governed by the rule of law," Pena said in a letter addressed to Basilio Nunez, the Senate’s president.
总统称，他在周四晚间10点15分（周五格林威治时间0100）收到通知，随附一份15页的起诉书和约300页的支持性文件。
The president said he received the notification on Thursday at 10.15 pm local time (0100GMT Friday), accompanied by a 15-page indictment and about 300 pages of supporting documents.
他辩称，如此短的通知期没有给他足够的时间委任律师并准备充分的法律辩护。
He argued that the short notice did not give him sufficient time to appoint a lawyer and prepare an adequate legal defense.
据ABC Digital报道，参议院以39票对3票否决了给予延期的动议，有2人弃权、1人缺席。
The Senate voted 39-3 against granting the extension, with two abstentions and one absence, ABC Digital reported.
此次弹劾程序发生在涉及Ueno银行的金融危机之际，该行本周早些时候因对其财务状况的担忧被巴拉圭中央银行接管。
The impeachment proceedings come amid a financial crisis involving Ueno Bank, which was taken over by Paraguay's Central Bank earlier this week over concerns about its financial condition.
该行的状况导致客户面临取款限制，引发公众愤怒，并引发对其财务往来的质疑。
The bank's situation left customers facing restrictions on access to their deposits, triggering public anger and raising questions about its financial dealings.
此前持有控制Ueno银行的控股公司股份的佩尼亚，面临利益冲突指控以及涉及存放在该行的公共养老基金的涉嫌违规指控。
Pena, who previously held shares in the holding company controlling Ueno Bank, has faced accusations of conflicts of interest and alleged irregularities involving public pension funds deposited with the lender.
在压力不断增大的情况下，佩尼亚周四提交了辞呈，但议员们未能达到法定人数对其进行审议，使得弹劾程序得以继续。
Pena submitted his resignation Thursday amid mounting pressure, but lawmakers failed to reach a quorum to consider it, allowing impeachment proceedings to continue.
如果佩尼亚的离职正式生效，副总统佩德罗·阿利亚纳将接任总统。
Vice President Pedro Alliana would assume the presidency if Pena's departure is formalized.
参议院驳回延期请求意味着，佩尼亚必须按议员们原定的时间表进行辩护。
The Senate's rejection of the extension means Pena must proceed with his defense under the original timetable set by lawmakers.
